A water line under the Heredia – La Uruca highway broke on Sunday, and as a result, a quickly formed giant hole cut off two lanes. The damaged road is south of the bridge over the Rio Virilla. Officials are asking drivers to avoid this very congested route.
Because of the urgency, the transport ministry is lending machinery to the Instituto Costarricense de Acueductos y Alcantarillados to aid in the repair of that massive hole that makes the commute even worse than usual.
Yesterday the president of Instituto Costarricense de Ferrocarriles (Incofer) Miguel Carabaguíaz confirmed that Spanish technicians had completed their adjustments to the 4 Apolo trains, so the train can start running in as little as 2 weeks.
The train will cost 350 colones (60 cents) one way. The first train will be leaving the Heredia station at 6 am and running every 15 minutes until 7:45 am. Service will then resume at 4 pm and run until 6:45 pm with the same interval between trains.
The train from San Jose to Heredia will run from 6:30 am to 7:15 am and from 4:30 pm to 6:15 pm.
Note that the train will not be running during weekends.
